The president of Truterra says carbon payments shouldn’t be the sole motivator for adopting practices that sequester carbon.
Jason Weller says generating a carbon credit is difficult.
“It’s intense, data intensive, requires a lot of science and for a farmer sometimes it requires some significant practice changes,” he says. “That practice change, bottom line, has to pencil out.”
Instead, he says growers should take a whole-systems approach to implementing conservation practices on their operation.
